:Product: 0830RSGA.txt :Issued: 2011 Aug 30 2200 UTC # Prepared jointly by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, # Space Weather Prediction Center and the U.S. Air Force. # Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity SDF Number 242 Issued at 2200Z on 30 Aug 2011 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 29/2100Z to 30/2100Z: Solar activity was low. Region 1274 (N19W59) produced occasional B- and C-class flares as it developed from a plage region to a six-spot Bxo group. The largest of these was a C1/Sf at 30/0312Z. Three new regions were numbered: 1282 (N24E01), 1283 (N12E71) and 1284 (S19W57); all of which were small and simply-structured. There were no Earth-directed CMEs observed during the period. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be low through the period (31 August - 02 September). IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 29/2100Z to 30/2100Z: Geomagnetic field activity was at mostly quiet levels with unsettled periods observed at high latitudes. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at mostly quiet levels through the period (31 August - 02 September). III.
